Yeah, don't call a Troll a Fooper, or vice versa. Apparently it's like calling a MN a Sconni, or vice versa.

Check out the big brain on Brad! You're a smart mother*er, you know that?
I did learn that all Michiganders hate when you crush your aluminum can when done with it. Nowadays, I don't leave any can uncrushed if possible when I go to MI.
You're gonna get yourself shot over 10 cents, you know that, don't you?
Actually, deposit is the stupidest thing in the world. You could make every can worth a theoretical 10 cents, force all retailers to tack on the additional cost at the time of sale, make them also carry that money forward for people returning cans AND have a facility to collect the old cans, and make the state keep tabs on all these cans coming in and going out.
Or you could put recycle bins at convenient places, and STILL have more people recycle, like Minnesota.
What, is PB gonna try and shoot me? Pfft.
It is. I just love how so many people get their panties in a bunch over a friggin' dime. It's TEN CENTS. If you have to worry about 10 cents, I think you have some bigger problems in your closet.
Its because they are Foopers, Yoopers and Trolls.
Foopers are Yoopers. Don't be redundant.
I am trying to be unoffensive as possible

Just keep in mind that 10 cents/can adds up
I remember my freshmen year there was a group of kids living in some huge Victorian house that had been modified to have like 7 bedrooms and had about 9-10 people living there... As a house rule, no one threw away cans, and all cans went into a "general fund" to cover utility bills and shared essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc.
They would throw these huge parties since it wasn't hard to get 50 people there with just a few phone calls... They would get a small keg occasionally, but usually it was BYOB... They were pretty good at getting people to leave their cans there... So at the end of the night, they would have tons of beer cans at a dime per...
After one epic weekend, they went to Econo Foods to return their bounty for the weekend... Total came to just over $120... Now I don't know how valid this is, but supposedly because of the high amount that Econo had to pay out on a regular basis, they were told never to come back with cans again... Not sure if that was just a legend or not, but I do know that they did fund a good chunk of their utility bills and whatnot through cans...
There's also "outstaters" - which can refer to anyone not from the twin cities metro area.
I'm a little scared now. I don't think it'd be wise to ever ride in the back seat of a car while you're in the passenger seat up front.Check out the big brain on Brad! You're a smart mother*er, you know that?
Would you like a microeconomics lesson confirming the futility of a per-can deposit such as that? It has to do with the shifting of tax burdens, and why it's largely ineffective in inducing behavior at levels expected by the politicos, and reducing sales tax revenues to boot. It's all quite interesting - if you're not bored by microeconomics, that is.Actually, deposit is the stupidest thing in the world.
